GVSU best in Michigan, Top 25 nationally among Gilman Fellowship-producing institutions for 2016-17

Posted on May 08, 2018

Grand Valley State University students earned more
nationally-competitive Gilman Fellowships for the 2016-17 academic
year than any other college or university in Michigan, and ranked in
the top 25 Gilman Fellowships-producing schools in the nation.

Grand Valley was also recognized as a leading Gilman Fellowships
producer for first-generation college students, students who identify
as racial and ethnic minorities, students with disabilities, students
studying in STEM fields, and the total number of locations students
traveled to while completing their study abroad.

A total of 20 Grand Valley students were awarded the Gilman
Fellowship and successfully completed their study abroad experience.
The students earned a cumulative total of $82,500 in awards.

Five other Grand Valley students have also been selected to receive
Gilman Fellowships for Summer 2018. Their names, hometowns, majors,

Gilman Scholars receive up to $5,000 to apply toward their study
abroad or internship program costs. Students receiving a Federal Pell
Grant from two- and four-year institutions who will be studying abroad
or participating in a career-oriented international internship for
academic credit are eligible to apply.

Scholarship recipients have the opportunity to gain a better
understanding of other cultures, countries, languages and economies,
making them better prepared to assume leadership roles within
government and the private sector.
